No Craig...the bridge you've got there takes the drizzle coils or the new sxk coils made for it. It takes a few other types as well but I'd have to look through some stuff to be more informative.

Not according to someone who actually has said bridge in hand and has tried the EUC drizzle coils .... they do NOT fit despite SXK listing them as compatible with the bridge. It would appear that the only ones that do work are the new SXK bantam coils.

The vaporesso EUC coils fit in the A-tank if you've got the special sleeve with the standard bridge kit which come with the SXK one. To fit them in the standard boro you need the Mod Factory bridge....there are other bridges too but this is the original.

Most BB users swear by the MF bridge with the EUC ceramic coils in 0.5/0.6. They give a really good flavour.

The new SXK coils which came out for the Bantam look interesting although probably MTL the resistance at 1.2 ohm is certainly where you'll need to be with an 18350 battery.

Hope this clarifies and let me know if I can get you further details :)
The poster had this to say:
"The wider band at the base of the Drizzle coil head is too thick to fit in the bottom portion of the bridge. The SXK coils, however, fit perfectly."
These are the mini EUC's

Ok guys. Hope everyone is well? :) This is getting a bit confusing for me. I've never tried the drizzle coils but no they are a favourite with some of the BB guys...however it was my understanding that they used there own bridge. The MF bridge is for the EUC coils standard...but maybe i'm wrong here...??

I'm in an experienced BB facebook group and it was there that I got the info about the SXK bridge...i'm going to start a thread in a bit to see if I can get a definitive answer.

Yes, that is true. However, MF also offers the bridge with what they call MTL adapters that will allow use of the bridge with Drizzle coils. So, MF bridge only = standard EUC coils only ... MF bridge + MTL adapters = EUC Standard AND EUC Drizzle coils.

Hope that helps. :)

Thanks. Very helpful...I was talking to someone earlier in my BB fb group and they told me the same. I'm not an MTL vaper so i'd never looked into the MF MTL setup. I actually though they were just reducers to make the airflow more restricted....so good to know thanks.

I have also just hit the switch on a Bantam box and have also bought the bridge that has come out with it. I tried to get an answer to whether the drizzle coils will fit it or any others and couldn't come up with anything conclusive the general consensus was that it's too new for there to be any info. So the only thing we know for sure is that the SXK coils will fit. I'm not sure i'll like 1.5 mtl coils so i'll probably just go with a 0.8 clapton in a rebuildable. After all it is just a standard boro so it's just the 18350's that limit what you can do.

I received my Bantam Box today, included was an accessory that took me a few minutes to figure out what it was for.
It's for putting on the Kanger RBA so that it can be screwed into a regular 510 for setup/maintenance ect.

Useful... So that will probably be useable on the aspire rba too

Let me know how you get on with bantam. I've got one coming with the new sxk bridge and coils. I'm not usually an MTL vaper so I'm hoping it'll be loose MTL or restricted DL

Ok, good afternoon guys @dwcraig1 @NGAHaze Ok I got a definitive answer much like yours Haze.....the sxk coils are 16mm x 16mm where as the drizzle coils are 7.5mm x 7.5mm so they're are tiny compared to the Bantam coils.

So the Bantam bridge will probably fit anything with 16 x 16mm coils which could do for some of the aspire coils or the Kanger.....i'll test what I can when it comes :)

this is an excellent piece of equipment. I was stumped on how to maintain, (dry burn and check ohms) on mine while I was using it in my BB. Long ago we used to check them with the Protank but just no way to check it with the BB.

Yes it is a problem. The vapeshell and exocet and insider have them but not the Kanger or aspire so pretty useful to have.

K n R vapour also do a conversion kit to turn the BB into a 510 but that looks like too much palaver to me and i'd never want to put another style atty on the BB as it kind of defeats the very purpose of it.

I saw that you had got rid of your BB so did you change your mind and keep it....I hope you did :D

I was using the base of a Kanger Subtank that I had modified the positive pin on to accept the Subtank Mini RBA to set up the modified BB Kanger RBA head. That little adapter makes it much easier.

I brought the Bantam Box to work and it did well. I have 4 18350's and am never far or away from a charging source for long so no problem with battery life for me.
The Bantam can not be vaped while charging, first time I've seen that. No TC.
My BB's fire at 45 watts for the 1st second then 35 watts after that. The 30 watts from the Bantam seems to be enough for me. I like the screen position.

My first build was with flat wire but failed in the end due to not getting trapped under the post screws properly and I was running out of time (time to go to work) so I put is 26 gauge Nichrome coil. I'll give the flat wire another go maybe today. Prior to last night I had only wrapped flat wire by hand on Silica, never on a shaft. Next time I'm going to use a black shaft as I could hardly see what I was doing.

Make sure you keep your builds no lower than 0.6 ohm for the bantam. Preferably for battery life I would be aiming for 0.8/9.

Glad you are enjoying it :)
